Facilities at state parks include clean restrooms, picnic tables, and fire rings at individual sites. "The campground is big and spacious.

Water features dominate the camping experience in the region, with most campgrounds situated near lakes or reservoirs. Grand Lake St. Marys, Ohio's largest inland lake, provides boating opportunities, though swimming is often restricted due to algae concerns. Lake Loramie offers more reliable water recreation with fishing, kayaking, and swimming at its beach area. Campers consistently rate the waterfront sites highest, though some note privacy limitations. "The lake here is beautiful. It has many islands, coves and inlets and is perfect for a couple of days of paddling or fishing," shared one camper about Lake Loramie, while others mentioned that camping areas can feel like "parking lots" with limited separation between sites. Family-friendly amenities like playgrounds, splash pads, and swimming pools are available at several campgrounds, making the area popular for family outings.

"You're learning to backpack the Buckeye Trail, and you want to take the first steps towards that without worrying about the physical load you're going to have to carry."
ScoutIt's a nice campground, convenient to the Interstate, but the sites are very close together, so you'd better be on good terms with your neighbor. Having cable and a cafe that delivers to your site is a real plus, but the wifi if iffy.
Scoutwe have never met such nice people who were so nice to help in any way. We loved our stay at Deer Ridge Campground in Richmond IN.
GuideStayed over 4th of July. Place was packed. We only stayed two days but had to pay for three. We knew this going in, and I don't blame them for requiring a 3 day stay on holidays because they're just packed; and if you only booked two days , they would lose out on a day because nobody's going to take just one day. Was worth the extra $. As to the park, it is very nice. Clean, mowed and trimmed. Great roads. There are quite a few full timers and several that rent the same slots continously and stay only part time. Access is controlled by a gate and if you arrive after 10pm you'll have to park outside in overflow and walk to your camper. We did not find this to be a problem. Narrow driveway in and out of park, RVs can't pass each other so giving way is a must. Back 40 has many sites and is very popular with the locals Several are only elect and water, quite a few appear to be full hookup, but not sure how many are permanently rented. All Rigs in the park when we stayed were well kept up - no junk ones. Internet was overwhelmed while we were there due to too many users. However we had great 5G Verizon service. Owners and staff were great. Only 2 showers in each gender. They are a bit dated but generally clean and very usable. We really enjoyed our stay and would book again should we return. We didn't have time for investigating local sites, but the Muesum of the US Air Force is a one hr drive and VERY worth the trip. It will take you 6 or 7 hrs to see it all. Highly recommend this park.
TravelerCampground is clean and quiet.
Camp sites are grassy surrounding a flat gravel park site. Sites are wooded with good amounts of shade. There are very few nightly sites - most of the sites here are seasonal only. We were here in the second week of June and hardly saw a soul outside their camper or walking around the campground.
Bathrooms are clean and spacious. Showers don't have benches or shelves. The water smells strongly of sulfur.
Camp Brewing is the brewery at the entrance of the campground. Highly recommend a visit! Great variety of beers and excellent vibes. Dogs are allowed on the patio and they have a kitchen that makes pizza and wings.
Overall, would stay here again. Wish there was a little more livelihood around the camp sites, but this is a great spot to enjoy the quiet.
ScoutTheir sites are spacious and have many things for kids to do, swimming, scuba diving lessons, park, pool, splash pad, plus the float pads on the beach part.
ScoutFirst and foremost, access is restricted active duty and retired military members. It’s quiet, clean and secure. The asphalted sites are closely spaced. This is not the sort of place we’d come for a scenic, back-to-nature getaway. We are on a long trip and needed a place to stop for several nights to take a break from travel days and catch up on chores. There is absolutely nothing negative about the campground. It’s just not “pretty.” Opinions may vary.
TravelerClean, quiet and very nice. One of about 10 RVS in the park, nice and peaceful. They were exercising the horses this morning, and I really enjoyed watching. The staff was excellent. I thought the experience was great.
ScoutThere is a road running right by the campground with dump truck’s all day driving by. After 5pm they stop
ScoutNice small town fairgrounds with modern amenities.

Seasonal water quality issues: Some lakes in the area experience algae problems during summer months. "This lake is notorious for having algae blooms that prohibit swimming. So I did a google search before our trip and the Ohio Department of Health reports that the bacteria level in this lake is dangerously high," warns one camper about Grand Lake.
Limited privacy at Indian Lake State Park Campground: Some camping areas lack natural barriers between sites. "Our experience was still not the greatest one, the trail was confusing and we were eaten alive by mosquitos, even with bug spray. The campground had cut down most of the tree coverage, and it was like we were camping with our neighbors," explains Mandi B.
Insect activity varies by season: Bugs can be problematic, especially near water. "I think for us this park might be better in the fall. The bugs were really bad every time we were outside.

Site selection for supervision: Some campgrounds allow easy monitoring of children from campsites. "The papers were friendly and helpful. Friendly patrons throughout the park.
